Description

The LCD-3 is a time machine that puts you in the room with your favorite artists and musicians. It’s luxuriously spacious, with powerful bass, a rich and engaging midrange, and a top-end that draws you into the music. Its rich, vibrant sound has scale and authority derived from a deep, ambient soundstage with exciting detail and dynamics. The LCD-3 is said to be the best in the world and its natural timbre, especially through the midrange, has been described as a thing of beauty.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in the USA

The LCD-3 is thoroughly engineered for long-term comfort and spacious, realistic sound. We closely match our planar transducers, and match our beautiful factory-made wood rings by grain and color. We use tropical West African Zebrano hardwood — known as Zebra wood — not listed in the CITES Appendices. We also match the earpads by leather texture and color. You can choose genuine leather or leather-free headband and earcups that are filled with carefully selected foam for best sound and comfort during long listening sessions. Pair the LCD-3 with a quality headphone amplifier or integrated amp for best sound.

Industrial design by Audeze

You’ll be proud of how the LCD-3 looks and sounds. It’s imbued with sophisticated looks and beautiful hand-made rings. The quality of the entire structure guarantees years of trouble-free listening. Our cutting-edge designs and circuit technologies have created an astonishingly beautiful sounding headphone.

Reviews:

“Greatness is apparent straight from the off. The LCD-3 delivers a scale and authority of sound we didn’t think headphones could ever manage. A rich, vibrant sound.”

Staff, What Hi-Fi<

“An object lesson in how good headphone bass can be when the response is flat to below audibility and the distortion vanishingly small.”

Keith Howard, Hi-Fi News

“The LCD-3’s natural timbre, especially throughout the midrange, was a thing of beauty and one that’s hard to go without once experienced.”
